They’re in order of likelihood of being played. Craig is a mate of mine who I play with when time permits.
I theme mine on how I play them:
-
play with friends
-
play when I have a short amount of time
-
more in-depth games
-
completed
-
unlikely to play (e.g. parts of bundles)
And yes, a bunch of uncategorized
Very similar to my own system!
-
Didn’t even know I could do that :') thanks
I’ll come back to this when I sorted them… although I really do like your system.
Its a little more convoluted than I’d like. I Should really merge things like Meh/ Package deal/Discontinued/kinda done though
I used to have a category called “maybe pile” but it didn’t make sense to me to stick it near the top.
I have
-
“Pile of Shame” (started, never finished out of boredom, too long of a list tbh)
-
“Goated” (Always installed and ready to play, something like Sekiro, DS3, MHW)
-
“Co-op” (Couch Co-op Games for when friends are coming over. Having them in an extra list is easier to choose from)
The Rest ist unmanaged. Oh and I also just hide a game if it’s a one-playthrough-only thing and I am finished.
Always looking for couch co-op recommendations if you have any to share?
These would be
-
Battleblock Theater
-
Castle Crashers
-
Children of Morta
-
Divinity Original Sin 2
-
Ember Knights
-
Guacamelee
-
ibb & obb (I dont like it)
-
Magicka 2
-
Overcooked 2
-
Sackboy
-
Speedrunners
-
The Swords of Ditto (I think thats my favorite, Zelda like but co-op able. Played it with my younger cousin and was tons of fun. Very short though, under 10hours)
-
Ultimate Chicken Horse (dont like it)
-
Multiple Worms Games but theyre all pretty much the same
-
-
What if I only have 4 games?
“My favorite game” “My second favorite game” “My third favorite game” “One must not look a gift horse in the mouth”
“Welcome to the British Museum Collection of Egyptian Antiquities… My name’s Craig…”

I put the games I care about into genres. There’s a lot in my library I don’t really bother with though and I just lump that in its own category.
I tried that, but most genre folders have become pretty useless over time because they’re either too similar to each other or somehow games found their way into wrong ones
A few games in my favorites and the rest is uncategorized (i only have like 20 games though so that’s not much of a problem)
Looking at some of these… I’d never even considered sectioning them by genre - mine’s mostly by physical location - if I want to play that game, where’s it already installed?
So there’s :
Desktop, Laptop, Deck Internal, Deck SD1 (and SD2, 3 & 4 for removable SD cards)Then like most people, I’ve got a “Complete” and a “Maybe [person’s name]” for ones the missus might enjoy.
The only sort of grouping is “Wheel Games”, which is basically driving games, but the type you want to play with wheel & pedals, not just a controller. My wheel and pedals aren’t set up permanently, so when they are set up, I pretty much only play all the Euro Truck/Bus Sims, Dirt Rally, F1, Revhead, BeamNG sort of games etc.
I did also use to have lists for my laptop and hand-me-down PC, and one called “need a better computer”, but my laptop’s since given up the ghost and I have a better computer.
Working on it - Stuff I’m in the middle of
Leeloo Dalass Multipass - Anying that is 2 or more players
Done Did - Games that I’ve done did
Then title groupings for anything with 5 or more installments.
- Favorites (13)
- Hall of honor (1)
- Local Multiplayer (6)
- Trash Bin (11)
- Uncategorized (92)
(Hall of honor as of now contains “Brothers: A tale of two sons”, game brought me to tears so I created the category, shoved it in there and never played it again.)
Oh fuck! To start, and to finish! What a great idea.
I just have genres, series, and have really nothing based on what I still have to play
I have three categories:
- Completed
- In Progress
- Uncategorized
They go into In Progress when they’re installed.
They go into completed when I’ve finished them. Either 100% achievements or completed to my own satisfaction if no achievements.
If I lose interest and uninstall they drop back into Uncategorized until I’m ready to pick them up again.
Craig
- Favorites (I’ll play again after finishing) (21 games)
- Completed (I’ve finished and probably won’t play again) (430 games)
- Dead Games (online games that are literally unplayable due to servers going down) (3 games)
- TBD (I haven’t finished yet) (140 games)
Completed also includes things I decided weren’t worth playing anymore, mostly from bundles back in the day. Stuff like Fallout Tactics and some of the XCOM spinoffs.
